Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Services xl Module
Network Services Manager
A server that knows a device’s read-only community name can view, but not
alter, settings and other information stored on that device. For example, you
might want a particular SNMP server to only monitor traffic on the device. An
SNMP server that knows a device’s read-write community name can change
its configuration in addition to viewing information about it.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module uses the following community names:
■ public
■ private
■ trap
By default, the public and trap communities have read-only access, and the
private community has read-write access.

As discussed in Chapter 1: Introduction, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
and its uplink port operate at Layer 3 of the Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) model. As part of this Layer 3 functionality, the Wireless Edge Services
xl Module maintains a route table. You can view the route table, which
automatically lists directly connected interfaces, and you can add static routes
to the route table. You can also assign IP addresses to as many as eight VLANs,
which then become directly connected interfaces, and you can enable routing
between these VLANs.
The Wireless Edge Services xl Module’s route table is completely separate
from the route table maintained by the wireless services-enabled switch. The
IP addresses that you assign to VLANs on the module are stored and main-
tained in the module’s running-config. If you want to assign IP addresses to
VLANs on the wireless services-enabled switch, you must access the CLI, the
menu system, or the Web browser interface for the switch itself.
Route Table
When the Wireless Edge Services xl Module receives an IP address from a
DHCP server, the address is assigned to the default management interface,
which is typically VLAN 1. The module automatically recognizes the subnet-
work directly connected to the default management interface and lists this
